The creation of a manual on “How to UNMute civil society at the UN”
We are pleased to announce that the UNMute survey is now closed. The results are currently being analyzed. Further discussions will take place in September at our side event at the Summit of the Future. The insights gathered from the survey will be instrumental in drafting the “How to UNMute Manual,” which will provide concrete, practical, and operational guidance for Member States to enhance civil society participation at the UN. The manual is set to be launched in the fall of 2024 and aims to address key challenges, offer good practices, and recommend actionable steps to ensure meaningful and effective civil society engagement at the United Nations. Thank you to all who participated and contributed their experiences.
